The Boston Bruins' longtime national anthem singer turned duties over to the fans at TD Garden, and they put a fitting exclamation point on a pregame ceremony honoring the victims of Monday's Boston Marathon bombings.

Before the anthem, a montage set to "Home" by Phillip Phillips aired on the video screens. It was perfect: "The trouble it might drag you down/If you get lost, you can always be found/Just know you’re not alone/Cause I’m going to make this place your home."

Three people were killed and about 150 injured by the explosions, which were caused by IEDs fashioned out of pressure cookers. No arrests have been made.

In the last 48 hours, Americans (and Canadians) have rallied around the city, and sports has played a major role. Wednesday's game was the first major event in the city since the tragedy.
